Lightning comes and goes
Like a flash of hope
Bringing light yet
Bringing destruction too
Thunder comes after lightning
As if a scream of pain
Its roaring is powerful
Enough to shake everything
The laptop screen shines bright
As it becomes the only source of light
These voices are all drowned out
As the sky continues its deafening cries
Concentration is what I need
To learn and to achieve
Yet fear is all I feel
Throughout this fierce thunderstorm
